火化选项，纪念你爱的人
火化后，火化场的工作人员会将收集到的骨灰放入骨灰瓮后交给家属。最后再由家属决定以何种方式纪念他们的亲人。专业的殡仪服务机构会根据当地情况提供多种选择。
骨灰殿
最受欢迎的纪念方式便是家属将亲人的骨灰放入美丽的骨灰瓮再安置在骨灰殿。为了纪念已故亲人，家属会将与逝者相关或喜欢的物品与骨灰瓮放在一起。有一些骨灰阁则附加玻璃门及上锁功能，面板上会刻有逝者的姓名和细节。但一些家属则采取雕刻的石头或瓷砖永久封闭骨灰阁。
纪念花园
火化后，家属可以选择将亲人骨灰埋葬在指定的纪念花园地底下。相较标准的公共墓地，纪念花园的墓地底下可以容纳一两个骨灰瓮，家属可以选择竖立纪念碑来纪念逝者。
海上撒灰
一些家庭会选择抛撒骨灰在海上或选择逝者生前喜欢的地方，尤其是印度教，通常会选择这种葬法。一些国家因缺乏土地资源亦鼓励海葬的方式。当骨灰随风撒在海里就等于回归自然，因此，家属会选择特定的纪念日来悼念逝者。
Memorial options for cremations
Upon cremation, the ashes or “cremains” are usually collected by the crematorium and returned to the family in an urn. At this stage, it is up to the bereft family to decide on how to memorialise their loved one. Professional bereavement care providers will usually offer a variety of choices depending on the options available at that locality.
Columbarium
The most popular memorial option is to place the urn at a columbarium – a permanent structure or building that is built specifically for this purpose consisting of many repositories or niches resembling dovecotes. The urn is placed within such a niche and occasionally families will place other things together with it, such as favourite items associated with the deceased or decorative and religious objects. The niche is then covered in a variety of ways. Some columbaria will employ the use of lockable door or glass covering which is inscribed with the deceased’s name and details. Others might seal the niche permanently with an inscribed stone covering or tile.
Urn garden
Despite cremation, families may still choose the option of burial below ground in an urn garden. An urn garden is a burial ground designated for the burial of cremated remains only. Unlike a standard burial plot, an urn garden’s burial plot will contain a below ground compartment or vault big enough to accommodate an urn or two. A headstone or marker will then be installed at the plot to memorialise the deceased.
Scattering
Some families may choose the option of scattering the ashes (usually at sea or a favourite spot associated with deceased). For some cultures and religions such as Hinduism, this option is usually preferred although some land scarce countries might also encourage this practice. No permanent markers are erected after the ashes are scattered. However, families can still celebrate the memory of the deceased during selected anniversaries through personal or memorial prayers.
